      Interserver Facs Big Facs Small Facs Fight (is that a problem)

      Right now Starmade combat is a negative sum game. A positive sum game is like a voluntary economic trade, where both sides value what they get in trade higher than what they give up. A zero sum game is where one sides gain is the other sides loss (like in a war over natural resources). A...

      Idea for new logic trigger

      A trigger that would be set off on "deposit" of credits. Possibly tied to the shop block so no new block needs to be created? "please deposit 100 credits to open this door" (logic would need to be good enough to respond to a certain number of credits)

      Logic, stealth and jump inhibitors

      Can anyone clarify how logic works on AI ships as regards jump inhibitors and stealth? Can you set up an AI ship that uses either of those systems automatically? In general, what type of limitations are there for logic on systems that otherwise need players to click on the hot bar?

      StarMade v0.199.253 - Fog of War and Display Block Upgrade

      Granted, thats a worst-case scenario. The destruction might be localized to our own galaxy... Granted, that's a worst-case scenario.

      StarMade v0.199.253 - Fog of War and Display Block Upgrade

      Um....actually that was a joke. But If I did make "starmade" using display blocks, its more likely Schema would use it in a promo video...

      StarMade v0.199.253 - Fog of War and Display Block Upgrade

      If I make a voxel space game on display blocks called "starmade", will I get sued by Schema?

      Cannot edit ship in shipyard in this state...

      ...waiting for order. I got this message. I cannot change anything on the ship while its docked to the shipyard. There doesnt appear to be anything in the order queue. I tried un-docking and re-docking the ship...no change. Any ideas?

      Shipyard Block Replace

      Sure, for a few blocks. But if you have a large ship, or are trying to replace difficult to access blocks, this will be very time consuming.

      Shipyard Block Replace

      No idea if this has been suggested before... When building from a blueprint, I think it would be real handy to be able to replace certain blocks in the blue print with other blocks. I just finished making a large turret with a grey outer shell, and so it looks very ....grey. Instead making a...

      PvP Anti-Player Research

      I have always been confused about missile/damage beam setup. Do you just need one damage module to turn it into a guided missile? What happens if you have 50/50 ratio of missiles to damage beam slave? Is it better?

      Are fully cloaked ships possible? What is your cloaker design?

      Why make it look good when no one can see it! "Hey guys....here is my stealth ship! Yes, it looks awesome! No, I wont uncloak it....just take my word for it...."

      When do we 'lock-in' ?

      Just as an aside, as a returning player away for awhile, I love the new cargo block and the direction it takes the game. Anything to add realism. My first big ship I am building on my return, a salvager, has a "cargo room" just so I can go see all the boxes pile up.... This kind of change, the...

      Thanks Panpiper and Malacodor, new info for me!

      Looking for help deciding a few things

      Panpiper would you mind explaining that, I am returning to starmade after being away awhile but your description runs completely counter to how I understand weapons to work. It sounds to me like you are saying if you have say a turret with one barrell, and power it with a bunch of reactors...

      Hey Schine! Thanks for...

      Mine is minor...I think I was one of the first agitators for a trash can request, so we got a trash button on the next patch (I was thinking of a whole trash block, but a flush button on the storage unit is much better). I was annoyed at having to make a special trip to space to dump the stuff...

      The game is much worse than it was a year ago for me

      I just have to boggle at the "factories are useless and time consuming" thing. I have to wonder if we are playing the same game, because with enough enhancers my factories easily produce more than I can ever use. I have about 20 factories in my base with between 250-500 enhancers each, and...

      Voxel modeling helper

      Could you guys tell me what sort of benefits these programs give you? Can you actually import something, or is it just for visualization purposes?

      How much did the game progress?

      I watched that video, and while it looked cool it really seems like a different type of game. Starmade is a sandbox; minecraft in space, and that game looks kind of like counterstrike in space. You select a ship then jump into combat. Thats fine if you like that sort of thing, but it doesnt hold...
